What:  One last trip down the rabbit hole before it's paved over. A deep geography. What is above and what is below. What came before and what will come after. Agrarian fantasies, sacrificial rites, and excavations. A story told with maps, dreams, and prayers. A map lesson in three parts. A history of the State of Georgia - or Anywhere. General Orders No. 9 is an epic meditation of the American South, a natural history of flora and fauna, of material culture and public space. It is an articulation of "a world entire", a world of surreal and hermetic atmosphere. It is a prayer of deep emotion and a prophecy of a terminal future.  (Robert Persons, 2011, USA, 72 min.)
